PowerPoint Tip – Hyperlinking
Did you know that your PowerPoint Presentations don’t have to be linear. Using the hyperlinking feature built in to PowerPoint 2003 you can jump back and forward between slides with ease.
Yes its true, you can turn a boring one slide by slide presentation into a flexible presentation network that allows you to jump seamlessly from one idea to another just like on a website.
All you have to do is create a transparent auto shape, place it over the area of the slide where you want to create your hot spot and then right click and select hyperlink from the drop down menu. Select “place in this document” and click on the slide you want to link to. It’s as easy as that. If you want to learn more, I recommend Robert A Lane’s book “Relational Presentation“.
